Immediately, I was hooked – not only by the gorgeous cover, but by the idea of a plausible romance…from the zombie perspective. Why did I read this book: I first heard about Warm Bodies after reading Angie’s review (as always, the review was fantastic and made me want to buy the book). How did I get this book: Review Copy from the Publisher Scary, funny, and surprisingly poignant, Warm Bodies is about being alive, being dead, and the blurry line in between. His decision to protect her will transform not only R, but his fellow Dead, and perhaps their whole lifeless world. Julie is a blast of color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. He has no memories, noidentity, and no pulse, but he has dreams.Īfter experiencing a teenage boy’s memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and strangely sweet relationship with the victim’s human girlfriend. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. R is a young man with an existential crisis–he is a zombie. Genre: Speculative Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Zombies, Horror, Romance
